I don't guess anyone has mentioned 'remind',
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind. 

The beauty of remind is how flexible it is. Of course flexibility has
a price, and there is some learning curve. But its default output is
plain text, where it can easily be man handled into any other output format
desirable: gui pop ups (eg via gmessage), text message to cell phone,
input to html based calendars, rss feeds, print on the xroot window
with root-tail, or whatever other format you have the time and
inclination to do with it. Combined with cron, it is quite powerful,
light weight and portable.

I use it with cron to populate a html calendar that runs on my local
Ubuntu system here, where Apache serves it as password protected to anybody
anywhere in the world that has a browser and my password ;-) And it can
send me 'reminders' via cron+email for really important events.
